I need to get hold of 7
I'm afraid that upgrading might cock up my computer though

need to get some way of backing up all my stuff first.

I didn't think you could upgrade to 7
I thought you had to do a clean install?

You can upgrade from Vista I think
But not from XP. I think a clean install's the better choice though.

I would agree with that
less likely to fuck up.

means I need to back stuff up more though, cos if you are reinstalling you may as well format.

edit: didn't take me long to find a mate who has Windows 7 for me

I think the operating system is teh one thing I wouldn't pirate
since you don't want Microsoft deciding to remotely render your computer unusable

that is a thought
unfortunately I don't have the money to spend on it.

many would think this counts as a reason not to get it.

why would I need to download and keep porn?

it's worth keeping the good bits
until you get bored of them

Well you're running XP or Vista or whatever
so you're probably also using a 56k modem.

Really, though
how much of this stuff do you have? You can get external drives pretty cheaply online now, if you look.

I can't afford anything at the moment :-(
have to keep myself entertained somehow!

Got a nerdy mate?
I'd do it for you with my lovely bulk licence, but you know. Exeter.

By cheap, I mean I got a terabyte drive for a little over 40 quid the other week.
